A Quilter's Quarters Exclusive! Kansas City Star 2007 Quilt Project "Borderlands in Butternut and Blue" |

A Sampler Quilt Recalling the Civil War along the Kansas/Missouri Border As the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War approaches, we want to remember that people living in the Kansas/Missouri area knew the trials of bloody conflict years before the War's official first shots. Between the 1854 opening of the Kansas Territory and the 1861 Battle at Fort Sumter in South Carolina, hostilities in the borderlands of Kansas and Missouri fueled brushfires that would explode into the firestorm of Civil War. During the War, the area suffered some of the worst civilian casualties. Missouri was the scene of more official battles than many of the states in the deep South. We are pleased to offer this 14-month block of the month program. Each month you will receive a different sampler block designed by historian and quilter, Barbara Brackman, along with the collector's section of the Kansas City Star where the pattern is published. We will provide you with fabrics in the beautiful Butternut and Blue coloration made popular during the Civil War not only for all 13 blocks but also your sashings, borders, and binding. Registration fee is $25 and then $19.95 per month plus shipping. Register here.
